I've been meaning to write this review for years but have never gotten around to it. What I have to…read moresay is Steve has photographed me and my siblings since our graduations. He's done senior portraits and most recently he did my wedding. Avalon is truly the best in the business. He always delivers stunning photos in a reasonable amount of time. But I have to say the "Crown Jewel" of Avalon is their reliability. Steve was LITERALLY hit by a car on the morning of our wedding.....and he STILL CAME TO PHOTOGRAPH IT! If a car accident won't stop him from doing his job to the best of his ability then nothing will! 10/10 Recommend Avalon.

Best wedding photographer ever. During my search for a wedding photographer, I called several…read moredifferent photographers in the area. Steve at Avalon struck me as extremely knowledgeable, as he was able to answer my barrage of technical questions with ease and confidence. It was clear that he has been doing photography for a very long time and really knows what he's doing. At some point, I had a phone conversation with another wedding vendor in Chico that made me call and book Avalon immediately after I hung up. This wedding vendor asked which photographers I was considering, and when I listed Avalon, she said that she had gotten married herself just the year before, and hired Avalon to do her wedding. As a wedding vendor in the area, she is familiar with many of the local photographers, and said that Steve is the best. So I called him right away to book him. I am VERY happy I did so! Steve at Avalon did my engagement shoot and wedding photos. For the services he offers, he is very affordable. The other photographer, Alicia, who helped shoot the wedding, also did an amazing job. They are both extremely kind people, and very professional. They had lots of tricks to get people to smile and laugh genuinely, and captured so many sweet and funny candid moments. Also, I can't say enough about the lighting--the lighting in the photos was incredible! They knew exactly where to position everyone down to the inch in order to work the setting to the best advantage. I have gotten so many comments from guests saying, "Wow--your photographer was so good!" or "They really knew what they were doing!" I've attached some examples of the amazing photos that Steve and Alicia took. Thank you so much to Avalon for capturing my wedding so thoroughly that we won't ever forget a moment of it! I can't wait for my next excuse to hire you again!

She spent time with me before the shoot to make sure we were on the same page and even helped me narrow down the best images afterward. ​The highlight for me was her way with babies. She's a "baby whisperer" who gave me great advice for soothing my newborn that has been a lifesaver. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and the quality of her work.

I mean, when was the last time a photographer let you play with lightsabers and polaroid cameras? I thought so. Furthermore, the wedding we were all involved in was high on top of a mountain above Lake Tahoe. The weather deterred more than a few people, but these two were completely undaunted, even suggesting a few breathtaking shots outside under snowtopped trees. The photos are moony sigh worthy. I've seen the first crop, and they are legend. I would not hesitate to hire them for myself and will continue to suggest them to anyone who asks. They are based out of Chico but will travel to where you need them to. They're willing to kick back and have fun, and drive all over creation to make your photography dreams come true.

Inconsistent. Over-priced. Poor Lighting. Doesn't seem to care about finished product…read more Sadly, we've seen this company for our youth football and youth wrestling teams for the last several seasons on Picture Day. Every year, the product we receive is a little worse than the one before. For this football season, Mark Thau was once again selected as the photographer of choice. What we got, after once again buying a decent size package, was a photo that: 1. looked photoshopped, 2. had huge, dark shadows on the side of our son's profile, and 3. was SO much darker than other people's photos that it felt like they used an exposure level to 'test' their set up on our photo. We are extremely disappointed in the product we got. We let them know that in an email two days ago; no response. When it comes time for our youth football board to select a photographer again next year, count me as one of the 'no' votes. Poor result, disinterested customer service. Overall, not worth the prices they charge.
